The initial Billboard review from 6 February 1971 commented that "Dean Martin is an old timer who knows how to make time with the new crop of writers".[4] William Ruhlmann on Allmusic.com gave the album two and a half stars out of five. Ruhlmann said that "Martin handled the material with his usual careless aplomb, but the result was just another record, no better or worse than its immediate predecessors".[1]
